A Stunning Achievement
This film is amazing. I served in the US Navy's submarine force, and Petersen's movie is the closest you can get to being in a sub without actually signing enlistment papers.

Hours of boredom, tedium, and unpleasantness
The makers of this film did an amazing job. Most of the movie takes place in a cramped submarine. It feels very real. I did not enjoy the movie very much, though, because the theme it explores, namely life on a submarine during WWII, is thoroughly unpleasant. Things I didn't like:
- The first part of the movie is about the boredom of being on a submarine...

A Stunning Achievement, Fév 11 2004
This film is amazing. I served in the US Navy's submarine force, and Petersen's movie is the closest you can get to being in a sub without actually signing enlistment papers. This is one of the few war movies that is not relentlessly propagandistic. Petersen presents a story of humans--not stereotypes, not jingoistic misrepresentations of sailors. By the end of the film, you'll probably find yourself cheering for the Kriegsmarine crew, or at least hoping that they get home safely. As an American, raised after World War Two, I grew up with nothing but negative images and stereotypes of WWII Germany and Germans. Petersen and his cast do an amazing job of breaking through those representations and portraying a story of young, proud men who defy the odds and the elements and do what they perceive of as their duty, even though they find no glory--just despair. I would recommend that you read Herbert Werner's memoir Iron Coffins in addition to watching this movie, especially if you are unfamiliar with the Battle of the Atlantic. Also, after the end of the movie, you should go outside, stand in the sunshine, and be glad that you are.

Best War Movie Ever!!!, Jui 20 2004
This is most definetly the best war movie I have ever seen. I have never seen anyone that has not taken interest in war after watching this movie. I have seen this movie many times and each time I learn something new. It is interesting to see how the other side was during WWII. I recommend this movie for anyone that has time to watch it.

How do you expect other sub movies to compete?, Oct. 21 2006
By now you know everyone thinks this is one of the greatest movies in the cinema. It is described as realistic, and has great camera work. You could probably go on forever about the actors and the directors and so forth. What is really interesting is they are all correct; this is one of the best sub movies ever. And you do get swallowed up in the action. There are other movies that can rival this one. Yet it does not diminish what was accomplished here.
The base story is the daily lives of an Unterseeboot crew. It shows the trials and tribulations they must go through to accomplish their missions. One thing you can be sure of is that this is not an anti war movie. They would not be there if they were not hunters.
You do get the feel of what it is like when the hunters become the hunted.

One of the best submarine movies I've ever seen, Jui 23 2007
I have seen this movie twice in my life time and even though I'm unfamiliar with these actors this director did I magnificent job with this film. "Das Boot" looks at war from the point of your average day person. There are no heroes, just people that have a certain job to do. This movie is excellent for many reasons. For a movie its length, first and foremost, it is extremely entertaining and engaging. It was a surprisingly quick three and half hours.
What I really liked most was the time the director, Peterson, took creating suspense, and giving scenes of depth. Nothing is rushed here, and it all pays off. What we end up getting is more of a psychological movie, and less of an action picture. We get characters that have souls and personalities. We see them change drastically from their cocky beginnings, really as children, to seasoned men. It is not an easy change, but Peterson takes us with them, through all their ups and all of their downs. What seems like a small accomplishment and brings them joy, can quickly swing the other way and create a huge amount of drama in their lives. Not only do we see them change with reactions to what is happening to them by outside forces, but what its like to have to live in a confining space, to have nothing to do. The claustrophobic atmosphere is a huge part of the movie. If you have seen shorter versions of this film, try to see the long version. Virtually the entire first half of the film is not in the shorter versions. We get to see much more of the Atlantic campaign and the sub doing what it is supposed to do, stalking and sinking the enemy. We also get a better feel for the long stretches of time, the sea as an enemy, and the frustration of not seeming to participate in the war. Overall, the longer version really changes the feel of the movie from an adventure to a mission.
This movie does puts you in a submarine, warts and all. We see the filth, the horror, the beards, and everything. And, the cast pulls off the roles brilliantly. This is a great film and deserves repeated viewings. I'm particularly impressed with the level of detail. There are some minor nits in the film. The long version has a very abrupt transition at one point which makes me think a portion of the film is missing. I also have my doubts about a submarine surviving some of what they did in this movie. Generally, once a sub was spotted it was dead. This is part of the reason for the 75% losses in the war. But, some license is due if you are going to create a really powerful movie that lets us see what the submariners saw.
I really could say a lot of things to praise this film. I was particularly impressed that this is the war from the German side with no effort to sugarcoat it, other than some anti-Hitler sentiments among the crew. Being that there is no glorification of war here automatically makes this a must see.

Holy crap! This movie is totally awesome!!!!, Déc 24 2004
Par Un client
Wow...This movie portrays a realistic "image" of the suffering that the german U-boat crews had to suffer... This movie ranks in one of the best war movies ever! Apocalypse Now, Das Boot and Band of Brothers are the best war movies ever! Although each of them are quite different :) Anyway, if you didn't watch the movie yet... Stop waiting! This movie must be watched!!!
Dive in the movie now!!! You'l thank me later :) p-s I believe it's best to watch the movie at night :) Gives a good atmosphere

A Matter Of Perspective, Juil 17 2004
The first time I saw director Wolfgang Petersen's epic film, Das Boot, I was about 13 years old. My cousin had a copy on laserdisc. When it was all over, I remember saying that I couldn't wait to see it again, so almost imediately, I had my cousin start it all over. There have been a number of "submarine" movies made over the last 20 years, however, none have even come close to matching the sheer brilliance of Das Boot (aka the boat). I alredy own The Director's Cut on DVD, but I was still curious to take a look at this 282 minute version, since I like the film so much.Captain Hans-Jürgen Hellriegel, (Jürgen Prochnow) commands German U-Boat 96, during World War II. For him, this is a mission to defeat the enemy and bring glory to Germany. For his young crew, they are in this for respect and adventure. The U-Boat's mission is to engage and destroy all allied troops that they can. But they are being hunted as well DAS BOOT is intense and gut wrenching The film may be told from the German perspective, rather than the allied point of view, but it's really a story of courage and perseverance,. It's told in a way though, that anyone can feel for this crew. The film really does have a clausterphobic feel to it. As a viewer, you do get a true sense of what it must have been like for these men on this boat. The battle sequences seem quite realistic and have never been topped since the film's theatrical release in 1981 For anyone who wants to know how the three different versions of the film stack up: The director's cut (running 209 minutes) also on DVD, incorporates 60 minutes of footage, not seen in the 149 minute theatrical version. Most of this footage lets us get to know the crew better than ever before. Das Boot The Original Uncut Version allows the major events of the story to build a little more, rather than giving us any new crew insight or additional plot revelations. Like the director's Cut disc, the movie also boasts a remixed soundtrack, that sounds great, even without a home theater system. Viewers can watch the film with its original German language track or in its English form. The brief featurette on the making of the movie makes a return visit for this 2 disc set. It's a shame that the really interesting and enjoyable commentary track from Petersen and Prochnow was not included here for those checking it out for the first time. This is another great presentation for the BEST sub movie ever made. Period. Buy this if you like sub movies. As for me, I'm glad I rented the uncut set, but in the end, I'm still sticking with the Durector's cut as my favorite way to watch Das Boot. Highly Recommended in any form.
